Y'all recognize that voice? Almost sounds like our fearless leader, Luke Cox.  Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat Podcast. Luke Cox, CEO and Chief Mountain Man of Hunt Lift Eat, is back in the saddle alongside good friend, guide, and mountain whisperer, Keifer Rogers. The boys are discussing what we are referring to as the "Five Principles of Hunting" -- Marksmanship, Field Craft, Animal Knowledge, Physical Fitness, and lastly, Gear. 

Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast - Don't mind the loud ding in the beginning, Carter is getting DM'd by Sabrina Carpenter.  We are super excited to have outdoor writer and dedicated whitetail hunter, Paul Annear on the podcast this week. Paul is a seasoned whitetail hunter from the great white north, no not Canada, but the Driftwood area of Wisconsin near Green Bay - close enough, right? Carter and Paul talking about the preparations they are taking this off season, how to hunt elevation, how to enter and exit your access points and so much more. 

Imagine taking a nap on your couch and waking up to a phone call saying that you just won the Alaska Governors Chugach Mountain Goat tag -- That's exactly what happened to our guest, Harv!  Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat Podcast! This week we are stoked to have James Majetich, Director of the Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaska, and the lucky winner of the Alaska Governors Chugach Mountain Goat tag!  The Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaska is the official nonprofit partner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). Their purpose is simple: to help ensure that Alaska’s fish, wildlife, and outdoor traditions are protected for future generations. Through donor support, they fund critical conservation, research, and outdoor education programs that might otherwise go unfunded. These include programs like Becoming an Outdoors-Woman, Youth Shooting Leagues, Alaskans Afield, and many other initiatives that teach Alaskans the skills, ethics, and stewardship needed to responsibly enjoy and protect Alaska's wild resources. For more than a century, hunters and anglers have played a vital role in wildlife conservation across America. Through license purchases and excise taxes on outdoor equipment, they have helped fund the protection and management of fish and wildlife for everyone to enjoy. Join the Outdoor Heritage Foundation of Alaskan in keeping that tradition and help support the conservation efforts that keep Alaska’s wild places thriving.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's that goat looking guy from Narnia!  Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast. We are ecstatic to have the man, the myth, the legend, Derick Bosley on the podcast with us this week. Derick is a seasoned Army veteran serving in the Army's 75th Ranger Battalion as a combat medic, multiple tours overseas, and somehow still has all his fingers. After the Army, Derick pursued numerous avenues of employment with his most recent being the founder of Stand To Blade where he has consistently been named "employee of the month" for over 20 months straight. At Stand To Blade, Derick makes a series of home designed and crafted knives, daggers, and axes. In addition, Derick has also dipped his toes in leather working making some cool items such as belts and wallets. 

While deer season is closed, this is not the time to slack off. Happy to have Austin Stone of Tactical Approach Outdoors back on the podcast alongside with our trusty host, Carter. In this episode both Carter and Austin talk about their off season plans and what actions they are taking to improve their hunting properties. The list of things to do are not short and can feel like a bit of a science experiment. Luckily, Austin has decades of experience and can help you maximize your odds. 

We are so back. The weather is turning and those thunder chickens are looking mighty good.  Stoked to have team member and mustache connoisseur Forest Chap on the podcast this week. Carter and Forest spend this time to catch up with each other, talk about life updates, and discuss what the future holds for them in their personal, professional, and hunting life.   

We are back and better than ever thanks to the wise words from our special guest today, Dr. Ben Page. Ben is a Doctor of Chiropractic medicine and the host of the "Wellness Farmer" podcast where he talks about how holistic eating has changed his life from 'burnout' to breakthrough. In this episode, Carter and Ben talk about ways that they have changed their daily routine through holistic means and the positive change that has come with it.  

Luke is back home in Wyoming after spending a few weeks on the road and going to trade shows. He is joined by our trusty, loyal steed, Carter McKenzie, aka - the reborn of Robert Duvall (RIP). The boys don't have an agenda for this episode but are spending time catching up with each other as if they were on the phone.  Any entrepreneur knows that starting a business is not for the weakhearted. Luke knows this better than most as he gives us a deep dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly of starting and maintaining a small business. 

If anyone can keep track of how many times Kerri says "yeah" or "man", we would love to know what the final tally is.  Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat Podcast. This episode is going to be a mix of topics -- we realized too late that the podcast bank was empty and we needed to wing thing one. But that's pretty on par for us and it seems to keep working somehow. 

The Whitetail season has just come to end and we are all suddenly finding ourselves sitting at home wondering what to do next. Well boy do we have some good news for you -- Its time to start getting ready for the next whitetail season.  We're stoked to have Austin Stone back on the podcast to help guide us through what we should be focusing on in the off season and how to better manage your deer and property. Understanding where to place stands, climbers, food plots, and everything else can help you attract and keep deer on your land. Austin Stone is an expert in everything that is whitetail habitat management and this is an episode you should not skip. 

Do y'all see that? Looks like a wild Kerri is back from whichever sabbatical he was taking this time.  Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast. This week we are focusing on off-season prep - specifically the things we can be doing to get ready for next deer season. Take note of what worked this past season, what didn't work, and start to create a plan to mitigate those risks. It can be physical, spiritual, picking your bow up more, learning more about feeding patterns, and so much more. The important thing to do is address those weaknesses rather than ignoring them. 

You never forget that first deer. Everyone has the story and cannot help but smile when they recount the moment. This week, Carter is at the helm and is joined by our podcast manager, Cole, and have their good friend Keenan on the podcast to talk about his first deer that he shot this past season. Spoiler alert - He got a dandy of a buck. Probably the biggest deer that most of us have seen let alone have been successful in shooting. A nice 10 point and big bodied Georgia whitetail - one that any of us would proudly mount on the wall and recant for the rest of our lives. 

Did y'all know that our host, Carter McKenzie, is a certified fitness coach? I mean, he certified himself but that still counts, right?  Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast with ours hosts, Carter & Luke, who are fresh off of a rough season on Brokeback mountain. They are talking about fitness this week, specifically taking a deep dive into your energy systems. We are faced with three different energy systems and they all serve a different purpose depending on what type of workout we are doing. By understanding the type of energy systems we are targeting during our workout, we can better prepare and recover ourselves through nutrition, hydration, rest, and much more. 

Join us this week with our two trusty steeds at the helm of the podcast. As the whitetail season draws near its end, we wanted to take a moment and talk about it in depth. And we mean everything -- The good, the bad, and the ugly. Following after that, Luke gives a good state of the union and lets us in on the moves that HLE is making and what his vision is going into 2026. 

For the first part of the episode description we usually say something funny, like Luke's salt and pepper beard. But this is an episode that we are so excited to release.  While the Wyoming boys were on their western expedition, Luke was sitting on a few tags himself. And it wasn't until the boys tagged out that he starting looking for a deer himself. And not just a road forky, but a mule deer that makes you stop in your tracks and say "Damn, now THAT is a mule deer".  And to add to the Mule deer success, less than 48 hours earlier, the boys quite literally stumbled into a herd of elk. A quick trip back into town for an OTC tag and a well executed 850 yard shot made for a long night.  This is for sure a series of stories that you do not want to miss.
